Citibank will give you an account with no local # they are happy to have overseas visitors that come once a year and want banking facilities. No hassle on dormancy it other account requirements such as "you must make a debit card transaction" or "you must use the account to pay a utility bill"
They get it that an overseas visitor doesn't have a zip code, doesn't have Nevada id and doesn't have Nevada electric. They also get it that said overseas visitor is going to spray cash around when in town.
Minimum balance of 3-4k required to avoid dormancy fee
